Formae — Our journey
We are Team Six Elit and we are gladly presenting you our work, but mostly our journey because trust us, it was!
First of all our starting point was about Disorganisation and a way to help a category of people to deal with that; but there was a problem, we didn’t know which and how to do so.
After days and days of brainstorming, we couldn’t find something but then lightning struck us and we had an idea.
One of our team members luckily goes to the gym and one of his friends, on who we based our persona prototype too, is a famous personal trainer in his area, he happened to talk with him and then the idea came to us like it was nothing: We needed to create something to help personal trainers to manage their job better to help them dealing with disorganization, because there wasn’t anything like that on the market and because we love the fitness world.
First thing first we interviewed him and made him introduce us some of his colleagues so we could interview them too; we learned a lot and we discovered a lot of things which are, right now, the fundamentals of our App:
- A lot of personal trainers can’t organize their job and their life well because, besides making diets, they have to make custom workouts for their clients and follow them.
- In everything they do, they also need time for themselves.
- They need handy tools to make diets or do One purpose consultations so they are forced to go on the web and using obsolete tools.
- And last but not least there’s no existing app that lets them manage every client in an effective way.
After we Studied various things as such as Nutrition Formulas Equations, various personal trainers routines and Custom programs (Which are are schedules for the diet and workouts) made for different people, we managed to solve all of these problems with our app: Formae
Our app has a multitude of functions that help the personal trainers in everything they do:
First thing first we have a Reminder section where the personal trainer can manage all appointments with their clients or personal things that he has to do, for example, his own training.
Then there’s the Clients section which is the one that gave us a lot of problems in the making. In this section, the personal trainer can manage their own clients by creating a profile for every one of them. Also, they can add their generalities, starting and current weight and also a picture of them (if they want!).
Lastly, we have the Tools section which is our favorite one. Here we can find 3 different tools that are essential for the making of Diets. We have a calorie calculator that can measure how many calories you have to eat to either maintain, gain or lose weight. Then we have a macronutrient calculator: macronutrients are of what the food is made of, and each person has to eat differently to reach a certain goal, so a calculator like this is essential. But let’s not forget the third calculator which is the Body Mass one. This calculator can measure what’s the percentage of body mass a person has, so the personal trainer can create a diet in relation to the goal the client has.
But one more thing:
There are still features that are yet to come because we couldn’t implement those yet, but we are working on those too, don’t worry!
Such features are in the client tab and are the Diet plan creation, the custom program creation, and the measurement section. Also in the future, the personal trainer will be able to export all this data in a pdf file to send it to the client.
